"There is nothing good about liquor"

The Rev has been drinking the wrong liquor.

"This city has never been dry. It's just been illegally wet," Jewell said.

You mean people don't just read the bible all the time in these towns?

Jack Daniels is produced in a dry county. That's pretty messed up.

I'm sure it's not original, but it was a running joke in my home town. Asheboro, NC used to be a dry city in a wet county. Middle of the bible belt type of town.

Q: What's the difference between a Catholic and a Baptist?

A: The Catholic will actually say hello to you in the liquor store.

They now have booze.

CSB: The first bar that opened in the town is called The Flying Pig, due to a quote from the opposition's front man saying that there will be alcohol in Asheboro when pigs fly.

Haha hmmmm... liquor sales will certainly raise revenue, and I don't know about you, but I for one can't think of anything about more booze that might actually *cost* money...

I honestly didn't know that "dry counties" still existed. The sale of liquor is legal everywhere here in Nova Scotia as far as I know, but only from our crown liquor corporation, certain convenience stores, and sometimes directly from breweries.

The sale of liquor on Sundays was only recently legalized here and we were the the last in Canada to do so.

Britney Spear's Speculum: Believe it or not, California has some pretty liberal alcohol laws.

Why would that be hard to believe?

Change it Indiana (new window)

Signed. This was the response I received:

"Dear Friend,



Thank you for contacting me regarding Indiana's alcohol policies and the bills dealing with alcohol regulations this legislative session. I appreciate the opportunity to express my position on this important issue facing Indiana.



I believe that Indiana's current alcohol sales laws are effective and sufficient for the alcohol retailers and consumers in this state. I am not supportive of allowing for Sunday alcohol sales for Hoosiers because the majority of retailers in my district are against this movement. The boost to the economy from Sunday sales of alcohol does not justify potential losses and damages from increased alcohol consumption. I will continue to gather input and information regarding beverage distribution and policies, and I will keep your thoughts in mind when voting on these important bills.

Again, thank you for your correspondence, and if I can ever be of assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me.



Sincerely,



Jim Smith

ReapTheChaos: Dry counties/cities do not keep people from drinking, it just makes them drive further, often while drunk, to buy their alcohol.

Yes but it makes the moralists feel good about themselves for trying to "save people from themselves."

St_Francis_P: "There is nothing good about liquor"

The Rev has been drinking the wrong liquor.

The Rev has been drinking young boy semen. Nothing beats it according to my religious friends.

Ken VeryBigLiar: Britney Spear's Speculum: Here's an interesting article. It's not the Wisconsin Liquor Lobby. It's the...unions?!?

So your own citizens are willing to shoot themselves in the foot, lose untold millions to a neighboring state in revenue and tax money...ok, now I get how they can put up with the Vikings.

Hehe, Minnesota has a crazy minority that should just go ahead and kill themselves (the ones that vote for Bachmann).

Britney Spear's Speculum: You think the absence of tough alcohol laws in this state are easy to believe?

Normally, when I think of dry counties and draconian liquor laws, I think of culturally conservative areas in the South. There's definitely no liberal love lost on things ranging from smoking to trans fats, but alcohol generally isn't on their hit list.
